Did Napolitano lie to Congress on Homeland Security advisory council leaker Mohamed Elibiary?

Last October I reported that Homeland Security Advisory Council member Mohamed Elibiary had accessed a secure database, downloaded reports from the Texas Department of Public Safety marked “FOUO/Law Enforcement Sensitive” and then shopped them to a Left-leaning media outlet claiming that the reports represented a pattern of “Islamophobia” on the part of Texas DPS.

That same day, Congressman Louie Gohmert questioned Secretary Napolitano about our report before the House Judiciary Committee:

At that time, Napolitano promised Gohmert that she would personally investigate the matter.

Well, today she appeared again before the House Judiciary Committee and called PJ Media’s report a lie.

“I found out that statements that had been made in that regard are false, they are misleading, objectionable.”

Here’s the video of today’s fiery exchange between Gohmert and Napolitano:

Now it’s not everyday that I get accused of lying by a Cabinet member while testifying before Congress.

But she didn’t stop there.

(Rep. Gohmert 1:14) “Okay then…madam…you need to know that you have people who are lying in your department, because Texas department of public safety has been told the investigation was done, he did access the classified information with his own private computer, he did download the documents that we knew he did and the one thing they could not confirm because they didn’t talk to the reporter, or the people that he shopped the story to, but they couldn’t confirm that he shopped the story…but are you saying before this congress, right now, that as secretary of homeland security, that it is a lie that Mohammad Elibiary downloaded material from a classified website using the secret security clearance that you gave him? Are you saying that’s a lie?”

(Ms. Napolitano 2:10) “I am saying that is inaccurate, that is correct”

So Napolitano flatly denied my report that Elibiary had accessed and downloaded the reports in question.

But if you revisit my October article, you’ll notice that the information that Elibiary had accessed and downloaded the documents was confirmed by Texas DPS Director Steve McCraw, who told me:

We know that he has accessed DPS documents and downloaded them.

Not only did Director McCraw make that statement, after publishing my article his staff contacted me to make a grammatical correction. If I had misquoted the director on this point, I suspect they would have mentioned it.

But after Napolitano made this denial today, I contacted Texas DPS for comment. Deputy Director/Chief of Staff Robert Bodisch confirmed in an email that Elibiary had accessed and downloaded the documents:

The Director’s understanding continues to be that Mr. Elibiary did download DPS documents. This understanding is based upon conversations with Department of Homeland Security officials and the fact that Mr. Elibiary stated to the Director during a recent meeting that he did download DPS documents from the HS-SLIC site and further stated that he did not try to “shop” them or use them inappropriately.

So not only did this confirmation come from Texas DPS, but their confirmation was confirmed by conversations with Napolitano’s own department and with Elibiary himself.

But later in her testimony today, Napolitano contradicted herself and admitted that he had downloaded “some information”:

(Rep. Gohmert 3:20) “It did not bother you that he accessed information?”

(Ms. Napolitano 3:25) “Uh, he accessed some information, what bothers me, quite frankly, are the allegations that are made against anyone who happens to be Muslim.”

So Napolitano can’t even get her own story straight. What I suspect she is doing here is playing with the term “classified” since the documents Elibiary accessed were marked “FOUO/Law Enforcement Sensitive”, and weren’t therefore properly “classified”. But to download such FOUO/LES documents and shop them to the media would still violate his security clearance.

But what about this supposed “investigation” conducted by the Secretary?

For the record, I was never once contacted by anyone from DHS requesting information supporting my claims. Had they done so, I would have sought permission from my source to release the emails between them and Elibiary of his attempt to shop the purloined documents. But they didn’t.

So how could they have conducted an investigation without contacting the main accuser? By not conducting an investigation at all.

In this administration, this is business as usual. Outside of the Beltway this is called a “cover-up”.

What I suspect she is doing here is playing with the term “classified” since the documents Elibiary accessed were marked “FOUO/Law Enforcement Sensitive”, and weren’t therefore properly “classified”. But to download such FOUO/LES documents and shop them to the media would still violate his security clearance.

We have always known that the Democrat Party would do anything, say anything to get power and to retain power but what was not know by the public just how far these people would go. This administration has followed the Piven/Alinsky communist plan whether knowingly or unknowingly and it has devastated the countries economy. Even when the Obama Administration is no more we will still have communist moles throughout the bureaucracy who will work against this country along with their allies the ‘greens’, media, unions and academia and the 70 so called Socialists in Congress. A mistake was made thinking the communist defeated when they had only gone underground into a major political party.

RE: “what bothers me, quite frankly, are the allegations that are made against anyone who happens to be Muslim.” So anybody who is Muslim gets a free pass? Even if the facts suggest wrongdoing its wrong to say anything against a Muslim?

Tomorrow, John McCain will walk to the floor of the senate and rip Rep. Gohmert for falsely attacking the fine Sec Napolitano without any proof of wrongdoing. Who cares if the security apparatus our country is infested with muslims proven to be associated with terrorists? Who’s side are you on, John?

Well this story will fade as soon as the shooting starts in Iran. Ans so we await November 6 with mixed feelings.
Of course after Colorado today who knows what craziness the political class will pull out inthe next 90 days.

How can anyone still deny that we have the Iman of D.C. in the White House and he is infiltrating our entire national security apparatus with islamists?

When we clean that sewer out in November, remember all of the enablers that allowed this to happen: Hillary, Biden, Pelosi, hell….the whole democratic party and 90% of the media. Remember them…

It is important for the truth to be spread all around the country. Black liberation theology, communism and the nation of islam are all interconnected. Almost every single time you find a black marxist (keith ellison-van jones-barak obama-new black panthers, et al) you will find a black muslim. The hell with PC, its time we start calling a spade a spade. The vast majority of them are recruited in prisons and come out motivated to ‘get whitey’. Others are ‘educated’ people who assume power in government offices and then oppress people out of some sick yearning for revenge like eric holder’s ‘justice department’.

It is time for all freedom -loving persons of all ethnicity and background to unite and purge our nation of these vermin.
